What's your opinion on Rescues putting to sleep bunnies that have dental problems/need a dental but are otherwise healthy? I know of a rescue who obviously I am not naming the rescue but I was on their website the other day saw a lovely bunny , then said that the neutering run was in a few days. On the neutering run the bunnies get checked and if they need a dental or have dental problems get put to sleep. the other day I went to check the site and the bunny was no longer on there, nor was on the 'new home' page.
I mean if a bunny has severe dental disease then put to sleep to prevent future suffering would probably be the best option but what if the bun only needs 1 dental due to being on a poor diet? the bunny may only need a dental then on the right diet be absolutely fine, or could only need a couple of dentals in their life.
My Bella & Flopsy would be pts which makes me feel upset and ill thinking about it when they are otherwise pretty healthy, Flopsy has only had 2 dentals , last one 9 months ago so not a severe dental bun. Bella has had 3 in the past year and 4 in her life , she has other problems, both have root problems too but on metacam for life. I just could not have them put to sleep for that reason!
I do see both points , what about you?
